EPF for foreign workers / professionals

Hi All , Yesterday I read one article about EPF Malaysia for foreign workers, plan from Malaysian government which is not yet implemented but planning. This is good for all expats...Please discuss your views.

Really stupid idea.

Really bad for expats. Nothing but admin headache and hassle.

Just another chance to rip off foreign workers by employers.

Sad silly stupid idea.

Is it mandatory now? anyone have any update?

No. Malaysia is a hub for hot air....

Although EPF is optional for foreigners... but i got a job offer in which the employer make it compulsory!

That's illegal!

Please check your salary slips/ vouchers. If they deducted your pay to contribute to EPF, it must be stated in your salary slip. Please bring the slips to the nearest Kumpulan Wang Simpanan Pekerja (KWSP) office. They will penalize your employer.

Thanks for guidance and suggestions. I haven't accept that offer.
